5 bedroom detached house for sale

I was instantly impressed by this striking individually designed home of circa 3500 square feet positioned within the Kent Downs National Landscape, -- Adam Howell

#TheGardenOfEngland

A distinctive modern detached home of high quality craftmanship close to the centre of the village, with expansive reception spaces, a double garage plus ample parking provision, and manageable yet private gardens.



One of two bespoke homes built circa 2008, this outstanding detached residence immediately impresses with its striking double-height entrance hall and galleried landing, setting the tone for the exceptional accommodation that follows, all within a beautiful village setting.

The thoughtfully designed layout offers well-proportioned rooms throughout. At its heart is a generous and highly sociable open-plan kitchen and family space, perfectly balanced by more formal sitting and dining rooms positioned to the rear of the house. A utility room, cloakroom, and practical pantry complete the spacious ground floor.

The first floor features two principal bedrooms, each benefitting from en suite bathrooms and enjoying stunning views across the rear garden and open countryside beyond. Three further bedrooms provide excellent flexibility for family living, served by a contemporary family bathroom.

There is integral access to the double garage from the kitchen/family room, with ample additional off-road parking both immediately and then further in front of the property. The rear garden is mostly lawned and a good size, enjoying a high degree of privacy, bordered by mature, established trees, with side and rear patio seating areas for comfortable outside dining.

Whilst this house offers many appealing features, it is perhaps the abundance of natural light flooding through that truly stands out, creating bright and warm spaces throughout and making it a special place to call home, the local landscape is also one of undoubted natural beauty and has long been considered an idyllic and peaceful part of Kent to reside in.

Situation

Chillenden is a small picturesque village in the heart of the Kent countryside approximately 10 miles outside of the City of Canterbury.

Falling under the parish of Goodnestone the approach to the property is picture perfect and can take in the Chillenden windmill and the village church in between glorious countryside views.

Canterbury combines a bustling metropolitan city with buildings rich in historic importance, there are restaurants, bars, and shopping facilities across the city, and both the Marlowe Theatre and the Cathedral attract thousands of visitors each year. There are excellent schooling options across both the state and private sectors, along with two universities and two stations, one of which offers high speed access into Central London in under one hour.

Chillenden itself offers great access to the coast, the thriving town of Deal and the Isle of Thanet in particular are easily accessible, whilst closer to home the nearby farm shop is a favoured option for quality fresh produce, the neighbouring villages of Wingham and Aylesham have plenty of independent shops and stores, and there is a highly regarded pub close by.
